Strawberry Fields
((Thats so sad!!))"I know!" Andrew smiled. This girl was funny. "You'll catch on pretty quick. There's just a lot going on here." Andrew looked at the girl. She was actually kind of pretty. "I never caught your name, by the way. I think I told you. Mines Andrew." He stuck his hand out, waiting for her to shake it.
((That picture is so pretty.))"I'm Mary." She took his hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you officially. And was that your little brother with you earlier? Not that I'm a stalker or anything."
Andrew smiled. "Yeah, that's my brother for you. He's only nine, but he's been here longer that some of the older kids at camp." Andrew loved his brother, and he would do anything for him. They had always taken care of each other, even when they were little. "What about you?" Andrew asked. "Do you have any siblings?"
"Becides the other children of Iris? Nope. I'm an only child, but most of the time I'm around younger children. Back in my home town a lot of the kids thought of me like an older sister. I'm ranting, aren't I? I'm sorry." She smiled sheepishly.
(Herc walks into the Fields and notices people there)"Oh, sorry if i interrupted you guys... I'll leave..."
"Nah, it's fine. You're pretty interesting." Andrew scratched the back of his head in thought. "We should hang out more often," Andrew suggested. "I could kind of be, like, your tour guide or whatever you want to call it." For some reason this girl made Andrew nervous. He could usually keep his cool around girls, in flirting terms and all, but Mary made him feel less sure of himself. ((By the way, do you have Instagram?))
((I do yeah, jared_hartless))((BTW, were you talking to me or is there someone else whos named Mary?))
((Me? Nope.))"I doubt that I'm very interesting, but thanks." She Closed the book that was in her lap, then looked back up. "So you would be my tour guide of the camp and how it works. Sounds interesting."
((I'm so sorry!! I lost wifi!!))"Yeah. I'd be happy too." Andrew smiled at the girl. "But first off I have to get to know you. So, Mary, how old are you?" He asked, emphasizing the word old.
(Herc looks up, waves, then looks down at his feet again, blushing because he'd just seen the girl that he liked standing next to Andrew.)
"Yo, Herc! Come over here and meet Mary!" Andrew yelled, only slightly aware that Herc was blushing.
Mary smiled at the new boy and tucked a small bit of hair behind her ear. "To answer your question, I'm 18."
"Andrew!" Adam yelled. "I finished training!! Come on let me show you a few new techniques I learned!" Adam raced up to Andrew and started pulling on his wrist. "Come on, come on, come on!
(Herc gained confidence at the sight of the boy now tugging on Andrews sleeve and laughed)"He yours?"
"Yup. Been mine since birth." Andrew tried to laugh, but his past crept up on him, draining his mood. "So. What do you guys wanna do?" Andrew asked, wanting to change the topic off of his family.
(Herc noticed the mood change, and guessed that his family was a touchy subject, so let the matter drop.)"Uh, i dunno."
She shrugged. "I don't know." Mary stood up because she felt awkward being the only one sitting down.
"Herc, the strawberries are ripe! Have you had one yet?" He asked. He grabbed another strawberry and gnawed on it thoughtfully. "Mary, Herc and I could give you a tour of the campus you'd like. I dunno. We could do whatever." Andrew finished off his strawberry and through the top into the dirt.
(Herc, partially realizing that they hadnt been properly been introduced, partially for other reasons, held out his hand to the girl.)"Herc Ceilo."
Andrew picked a strawberry and tossed it across to Herc. "Think fast," he said as the fruit sailed through the air.
Andrew grabbed the strawberry out of the air and took a bite. "Thanks, here it comes," he said before tossing the berry back into the air.
Andrew laughed and caught the strawberry, took a last bite, and threw the leaves at Herc. "Last one," he said as the fruit sailed through the air.
"Yeah, we know." Andrew laughed and ran a hand through his hair, making it even messier than it was. "So, do you want to be toured, or what?" Andrew asked, ready to get going now that Herc's and his game was done.
(Herc caught the fruit leaves, looked at them, then threw them on the ground)"I prefer...mentally challenged. Sure, ill go for a tour."
"I'll go." Mary looked at the two boys. The small book was in her hands. Her hand bumped against Herc's for a second but she then pulled it back to her.
Andrew was ready to show Mary around. She was super nice. And pretty, really pretty. He saw her bump her hand to Herc's and was jealous, though he didn't know why. He picked up his book and brushed off his jeans. "So, are we all ready?" He asked.
Andrew looked at the other girl. "You can join in if you want," he offered. "I'll be sure to make it as non boring as possible."

((I saw this really depressing thing. It was that every time one of her children dies, Iris makes a rainbow in their honor.))
